GirsMJ86 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've never seen this thing around here, even did a quick search that turned up nothing just to be sure. Everyone behold the ultimate MJ with XJ conversion that should be used as the ultimate persuasion to get Jeep to build a true truck again... http://kateindeed.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=jeep Now uh, if you'll excuse me, cold shower time.

Guest Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 A very good looking truck to be sure; I believe it's called "Prime". The owner had a build thread around her IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sweet, there is a thread. Was odd nothing popped up for me when I did a search. Think I got 5 topics and they had nothing to do with an MJ, just the transformers movie. lol Thanks Alexia, got the links. I suppose this topic could be deleted then. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I wonder if theyre twins?? :drool: This ones here as well: http://comancheclub.com/topic/27668-h3resqs-dream-mj-the-build-continues/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 O.o Wow, they are twins. That is just crazy. And normally I absolutely hate silver vehicles but these things look great with the 97 front end, blacked out lights, and the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I agree with you on that one. I'm painting mine this color or a dark gray because I think it looks so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 That tailgate ruins that one for me. Don't get me wrong, it's nicely done, but I want my jeep trucks to say Jeep across the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Too many people have done the 97up swap, its losing its coolness. Now if you really want to be different you can keep the stock front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly stands out when I am scrolling through the forum topics glancing at avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 the thing about that first one (prime), is, as absolutely beautiful as it is, ( and it is), anyone with a good credit card can do it. take a stock rust-free mj, add quality lift, tires and paint ......... done. silver-spoon builds ..... i kinda like to see the ones that were agonized over and cobbled together more.

GirsMJ86 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think the conversion looks good, but you gotta take it all the way and do the interior too to really make it count for something anymore. Even though I really like the look of Prime, I agree that it is becoming pretty common. My preference is the 10 slot grilles, I even did a swap to a 10 slotter on my '91 I had. Took some minor modification to get it to all fit together while using the single piece '91 headlight doors, but that's where my heart lies. Probably because I love the look of the FSJ razor grilles so much, even more than the rhino. I'll still continue to admire really nice conversions though.

Those full 1997+ conversions also include over 110 hours of labor figuring out all the little issues that come up putting the two generations together. Which works out to a $8,800 shop labor fee at an average of $80 an hour. So if that builder has a pile of cash they could certainly steam roll it with money instead of doing it all themselves. When it is just swapping the header panel, fenders, and mirrors to get that exterior look then certainly it is insanely cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I personally think it looks a million times better as well. I am not a fan of the 96- front clips at all. :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
